This is the data package for the indicator family state of all known species, supporting the reports NSW biodiversity outlook report 2024 and State of all known species: Report card supplementing the NSW biodiversity outlook report 2024. This data package reports on results for the years 2007, 2013, 2017 and 2020 for vascular plants.

This data package is a snapshot of the data used to calculate indicators as reported in the NSW biodiversity outlook report 2024 and supporting report cards.

State of all known species indicator family

This indicator reports on the status of all species, within a biological group, known to occur naturally in New South Wales. The family includes 2 indicators: extant area occupied and within-species genetic diversity. These indicators measure the status of remaining habitat and genetic diversity for all known species of vascular plants in New South Wales.

NSW Biodiversity Indicator Program

The Biodiversity Indicator Program reports on the state and trends over time of biodiversity and ecological integrity in New South Wales. The program was established by the Biodiversity Conservation Act 2016. We have developed a framework of indicators to help scientists, managers and policy-makers understand the current state of biodiversity, how it has changed from the past, and how it is likely to change in the future.

NSW biodiversity outlook report

The NSW biodiversity outlook report is a summary of the state of biodiversity and ecological integrity in New South Wales. It is based on rigorous science and has been peer reviewed by recognised experts. New reports are published from time to time as data become available and are analysed. Each report covers the set of indicators from the framework that have been developed and are ready for publication at that time.

Report cards

Report cards are stand-alone documents that provide more detailed indicator results and commentary than the biodiversity outlook report.

Implementation reports

Implementation reports describe in technical detail how indicators are calculated. In combination with the corresponding data package, indicator results can be replicated by anyone with sufficient technical expertise.

Data packages

Each data package consists of tabular results and raw output such as spatial layers. Data packages provide supporting information for the NSW biodiversity outlook report and associated report cards. Data packages reflect results as presented in their corresponding report card and outlook report, creating an archive of the indicator results at the time of analysis.
